The Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DoH) referred a pharmacy to public prosecution after monitoring operations of appropriation and damage to public funds. Furthermore, the DoH suspected the pharmacy of substituting medically prescribed drugs with other products. They committed such acts in order to gain benefits from financial claims covered by insurance companies.
